L'action se déroule en Bessarabie au XIX siècle, alors que ce pays moldave était sous la domination des Tzars. Toma Alistar (joué par Sergiu Lunchevici) est le chef d'un taraf (orchestre populaire) de lăutaris ("trouvères" en roumain). Le nom de Toma Alistar est inspiré par la rue Toma Stelian, où se trouve l'ambassade d'URSS à Bucarest, où la mère d'Emil Loteanu travaillait, et où il a passé son enfance : Alistar et Stelian évoquent l'« étoile ». Le personnage d'Alistar est stellaire (sa passion pour la musique, son talent unanimement reconnu), solaire (son humour, sa joie de vivre, son énergie) et lunaire (sa déchirure intime, depuis sa prime jeunesse, où il fut séparé de son grand amour, Leanca, une jeune Rom jouée par Olga Câmpeanu… amour intense mais empêché parce qu'elle était Rom, et lui gadjo c'est-à-dire non-Rom ; en jouant du violon -jusqu'à Vienne devant l'empereur d'Autriche- Alistar ne cesse de rechercher Leanca).

Stéphane, a young French man from Paris, travels to Romania. He is looking for the singer Nora Luca, whom his father had heard all the time before his death. Wandering along a frozen road, he meets old Izidor, a Rom (Gypsy) and tries tell him of Nora Luca. Drunken Izidor only hears the handful of Romani words and takes Stephane to his village, determined to teach the boy the Romani language. Stéphane believes that Izidor will take him to Nora Luca when the time has come, so he lives in the Roma village for several months in Izidor's house, as Izidor's son Adriani has been arrested. Izidor is happy to have him as a guest, calling him "his Frenchman" and fixing the young wanderer's worn-out shoes. The other Roma dislike Stephane at first, insulting him in their language and believing him to be a lunatic, tricking him into saying rude words and even into entering a tent where women are bathing. Stéphane gradually wins them over by showing his respect for their music and culture and is rewarded with an intimate look into every aspect of Roma life, from a raucous wedding to a bittersweet funeral. The only person in the village who speaks any French is the tough Sabina, a divorced Romani dancer who is blatantly hostile towards him at first, but the pair eventually bond through a series of trips across the countryside to record traditional Romani music.
